Random curves by conformal welding
[Courbes aléatoires par soudure conforme]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 348 (2010) no. 5-6, pp. 257-262.

On construit une famille aléatoire conformément invariante de courbes fermées dans le plan par soudure d'un cercle unité donné en terme d'exponentielle d'un champ libre gaussien. On conjecture que nos courbes sont localement reliées à SLE(κ) pour κ<4.

We construct a conformally invariant random family of closed curves in the plane by welding of random homeomorphisms of the unit circle given in terms of the exponential of Gaussian Free Field. We conjecture that our curves are locally related to SLE(κ) for κ<4.
